We will not talk about the right liptick, the color of your eye shadow, or your waterproof mascara, but the fact that cosmetics expire, is a fact that the label should be carefully consulted when we talk about cosmetic ingredients. Many of you may be asking what is lipstick made of, and if these ingredients are organic or simply chemicals. Resort to all sorts of tricks to make cosmetics to enhance beauty or to hide what bothers us. Use lipstick, eye pencil, makeup for eyelids, foundation, eyecorrection, hair dye, conditioner, anti-dandruff shampoo, shampoo that gives volume ... and the list could continue. Choose cosmetics after company, after advice friends after ads and do not forget to check the label. And yet the label should be the lead advisor when it comes to what cosmetic to use because of their abuse and improper application can lead to early aging of the skin or in all sorts of irritation.



Natural versus Chemical

Begin to choose food based on ingredients from the label. So we should do and where cosmetics experts say, especially since many of their ingredients are chemicals that are harmful to our health. Thus, there is a list of ingredients should be avoided: skin care products (methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl were involved in disorders such as asthma and eczema), sodium sulphates of bath products and toothpastes ( can cause irritation), aluminum in antiperspirants (laugh increases breast cancer), synthetic colors, Triethanolamine (is used to balance pH cosmetic, but can cause allergic reactions), lanolin in lipsticks and creams (can cause acne ) stearalkonium chloride in conditioner.

Yet many of these ingredients are found in cosmetic products and their choice is motivated by the fact that without chemical intervention shelf life of products will be very small. So more attention to the label: even if you do not know what is lipstick made of, look at the label. and if the product is popularized by temers such as bio or natural, it may contain a large amount of chemical ingredients. A good indication of the extent to which natural or chemical ingredients are found in the cosmetic product is the price: it's good to know that natural products or those that have very little chemical ingredients are not exactly cheap. Discussions for or against bio cosmetics have been and will be, because their level of "bio" is sometimes questionable, but because some chemicals have proved effective over time.

Cosmetics expire

Be careful what you buy, first check the of them validity, and onl then acquire the products or cosmetics. It is recommended to avoid expired cosmetics because they can cause irritation of the skin or cause of premature aging. Before speaking of temen-life of cosmetics, you must know that if they are unopened, their validity may be extended for three years. Thus, the validity should be calculated from their first use.



And now the answers to the question of the expiry cosmitecele: powder - two years after the first use, Correction - after a year, eye pencil - after 3 years (but remember to sharpen it regularly), make up for eyes - after 3 years, the foundation - after one year (if water-based), after 18 months (if based on oil), pencil for lips - after 3 years, lipstick - after 1-2 years (still throw it away if it rancid smell. Tip: To extend the shelf life of lipstick, keep it in the fridge), nail polish - one year, mascara - 4 months.
